In Witcher 4, it keeps coming up that women can’t be witchers.

First, verify your purchase of all Witcher volumes…

As someone who reads Volume 9 of the Witcher series and Witcher 1 2 3, I really can’t understand it…

1. Definition of Witcher = A person who undergoes special training from a young age, eats special food, undergoes a type of genetic modification called the grass test, and changes the secretion of eye and spinal hormones to enhance the body. A person who hunts monsters.

2. The reason why there were no female witchers in novels and games – In the past, as the number of monsters among witchers decreased, civilians feared witchers, and after a kind of fogum (massacre that occurred due to religion, race, etc.), the lore and contact between each faction was lost, so witchers I don’t even know.

3. Can’t Ciri be a witcher? – As you will see in Part 3, Ciri was fully taught combat skills during the witcher training course and was given the “silver sword” used by witchers as a gift. The potions that support a witcher’s unique strength and abilities are deadly poison, so Siri, who has not received the “Way of Grass,” cannot use potions, but she hunts monsters in her own way, making up for what she lacks with her unique ability, “magic.”

Originally, the definition of a witcher was that she was a monster hunter, so if she was capable of combat and hunting, she could be considered a witcher.

4. Why doesn’t Siri get treatment? – In Part 3, Triss Marigold expressed doubts about the safety of the “Grass Path” procedure, which has been abandoned and has only been performed by men, and gave advice against it, and Geralt accepted it.

5. The state of Witcher 4, where Siri appears – In the trailer, the scene where she has changed into cat eyes is clearly shown + The producer’s official said that she received the entire treatment, including the path of grass.  Perhaps, for Ciri’s will to become a witcher and for the safety of Ciri, who is already secretly hunting monsters, it was modified so that the excellent sorceress Triss Marigold and Yennefer of Vengerberg could perform the procedure safely.

summation

It’s just the text and all the hidden stories in the game that say women can’t be witchers + the brain information of people who haven’t read the book.

To be precise, it is correct to say “I don’t know.”
